    My eyeballs did a double take thing when I saw the first picture. I thought it was 2 models sitting on a table top in a shop! LOL! Then they came into focus and I realized they are two beautiful cars!

    Thats a real nice example of a customised Merc. Roadster seems a little confused with that running gear and a cool as Flattie.
